Hey guys, hambone575 (Sam) Came up last friday for a total detail on his 9-5 wagon. It was a fun, but hot day, and the outcome was awsome! Sorry for the extreme writeup, I copy and pasted it from SaabCentral.com
The story-
Sam contacted me through Autopia. He had some knowledge of detailing, but not all the products and know how of doing a full restoration. Sam PM'd me and stated that his 9-5 Wagon was in need of some major help. The car came to me in ok condition, and I was very happy with the after result. Sam learned many things throughout the day, and I really enjoyed working with him!
Goal: Fully recondition exterior, full swirl removal, claying, and sealing.
Time: About 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM
The Process:
Paint:
-Foam Gun Rinse since Sam had dawn washed the car beforehand.
-Clay with Meguiar's Overspray Clay with Optimum No Rinse Clay Lube Mix
-Compound with Menzerna Super Intensive Polish on the Rotary with a Lake Country Foamed Wool Cutting Pad at 1900RPMS
-Polish with Menzerna PO106FF Final Finish (Done by Sam ) On the Porter Cable 7424 with a White Lake Country Finishing pad at Speed 6
-Wipe down all surfaces with Alch/Water mix
-Seal with Duragloss 105 Total Performance Polish
-Final Wipe down with Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax
Rims/Tires/Trim:
-Clean rims with Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener 2:1 and spoke brush, rinse with the Karcher
-Tires and Wells with Top of the Line Tire Cleaner
-Rims clayed and sealed with Poorboy's Wheel Sealant x2
-Tires dressed with Meguiar's Endurance High Gloss x2
-Wells dressed with Meguiar’s Hyper Dressing 3:1
-Trim dressed/protected with 303 Aerospace Protectant
